About Pahinungód

Inaugurated in 1994, Ugnayan ng Pahinungód’s mission is to make the University a more caring academic community that is bound together by a commitment to the empowerment of people and selfless service to the underserved, depressed and deprived communities. The name was derived from the Cebuano term Pahinungód, the Filipino translation of “oblation” or offering of one’s self to a higher cause, while the word Ugnayan recognizes the linkage of the University and its volunteers to the communities.

With the continuous service of Pahinungód programs, the University reaffirms its mission that it has never been simply a formal teaching and learning institution, but “one that has a social and moral responsibility to get involved in the life of the nation through the willing service of its faculty, students, alumni and employees, as well as, the units and organizations they represent, in areas of greatest needs.”

Pahinungód logo

The logo captures the initials of the University of the Philippines that is U.P. The colors blue, white and the mixture of yellow and red orange are inspired by the Philippine Flag giving acknowledgment to the university's commitment to the service of the nation. The blue represents the seed of growth sprouting from within that describes the multi-dimension of lives being touched by thousands of volunteers. The red-orange to yellow is prominently placed on the left to emphasize the glowing spirit of selfless service to the underserved sectors. It is like the sun that nurtures the seed. The curvilinear, circular form that opens upright represents the common interest that binds the volunteers altogether in making a difference.

 

About Continuing Education

In May 2003, the Office of Continuing Education was merged with the Ugnayan ng Pahinungód, and is now called the Office of Pahinungód and Continuing Education (OPCE). At present, it does not only conduct and coordinate community extension service activities, it also monitors non-degree continuing education activities of the different units of UP Manila.
